基于SARMA需求模式的牛鞭效应分析

在自回归移动平均(ARMA)模型的基础上,建立需求过程为季节性自回归移动平均(SARMA)的时间序列,零售商采用最小均方差(MMSE)预测技术预测市场需求,库存采用补充订货至目标库存(order-up-to)策略的简单两级季节性供应链牛鞭效应量化模型,并对模型牛鞭效应的大小及其影响因素进行理论分析和实例验证,不仅刻画出各种情形下牛鞭效应存在的辨别条件和属性,而且实证结果表明煤炭供应链采用SARMA模型度量牛鞭效应优于ARMA模型.     

供应链交互作用对牛鞭效应的影响分析

考虑两平行供应链系统,建立了需求依赖于两种产品价格的需求函数模型,分析了平行供应链交互作用对牛鞭效应的影响。研究表明:(1)供应链交互作用可能增加或减弱牛鞭效应。(2)对于具有产品可替代性的两竞争型供应链系统,若产品价格交互敏感性不强,则较大协方差的引入可以抑制牛鞭效应。(3)对于具有产品互补性的两合作型供应链系统,若产品价格交互敏感性较强,则较小协方差的引入可以抑制牛鞭效应。     

供应链零售商预测技术研究—基于牛鞭效应的视角

一阶自回归(AR(1))序列模拟需求过程是传统文献采用的经典模型,然而上述文献关于需求过程参数(如需求自回归系数)对牛鞭效应的影响分析缺乏实践意义,为了更符合企业的实际决策过程,本文建立了需求依赖于价格、而以AR(1)序列模拟价格过程的需求函数模型,分析了最小均方差、移动平均和指数平滑预测下的牛鞭效应,确定了零售商的预测技术选择条件。研究表明:(1)产品市场规模不影响零售商预测技术的选择;(2)当产品价格敏感系数较小或价格自回归系数较小时,零售商应选择最小均方差预测技术;(3)当产品价格敏感系数和价格自回归系数均较大时,零售商应选择移动平均预测技术。     

ARMA(1,1)需求条件下供应链需求提前承诺的影响效果分析

为了分析供应链需求提前承诺的影响效果,考虑供应链所面临的顾客需求满足ARMA（1,1）过程。首先从理论上建立正常顾客需求与顾客需求提前承诺时零售商订单量波动程度和平均库存的定量描述模型,通过两种情形下的比较分析,得出在顾客需求自回归系数大于零时,顾客需求提前承诺将减小牛鞭效应和平均库存水平;同时得出在顾客需求提前承诺时,如果顾客需求自回归系数大于零,顾客提前承诺的需求比例越高,则牛鞭效应和平均库存水平越低;顾客需求提前承诺的时间跨度越长,则牛鞭效应和平均库存水平也越低。反之亦然。其次运用仿真方法分析了顾客需求提前承诺对零售商平均库存成本的影响,得出在顾客需求自回归系数大于零时,顾客需求提前承诺将有效降低零售商的平均库存成本。     

季节性供应链零售商补货策略研究——基于牛鞭效应视角

通过建立含有季节性自回归移动平均需求过程的供应链,零售商采用最小均方差预测技术预测提前期需求,分析(R,D)、(R,S)、(R,βS)、(R,γO)和(R,γO,βS)五种补货策略下的牛鞭效应.研究结果表明:(R,γO)补货策略是弱化牛鞭效应的最优补货策略,然而(R,γO)补货策略时出现了反牛鞭效应,无法保证供应链的安全供给.实践中当库存量调节系数和订货量调节系数较大时,(R,βS)补货策略能有效弱化牛鞭效应,当库存量调节系数和订货量调节系数较小时,(R,γO,βS)补货策略能有效弱化牛鞭效应;对于(R,βS)和(R,γO,βS)补货策略,牛鞭效应随着库存平滑系数的增大而增大;对于(R,γO)和(R,γO,βS)补货策略,牛鞭效应随着订货平滑系数的增大而增大;对于(R,S)、(R,βS)和(R,γO,βS)补货策略,牛鞭效应随着订货提前期的增大而增大;对于(R,γO)和(R,γO,βS)补货策略,牛鞭效应随着时刻t的增大而增大,但时刻t增大到一定程度时,牛鞭效应值基本不变.     

大规模风电并网的双供应源电力供应链牛鞭效应分析

中国当前的电力供应链除具有部分垄断特征外,还由于大规模风电并网使得电力供给也出现随机性,它与随机需求一起影响了供应链信息的准确传递,在电力供应链产生了牛鞭效应,但对这类问题的研究极少。本文在分析中国电力供应链特点的基础上,构建了由煤炭供应企业、发电厂(火力发电和风力发电)和用户组成的多级电力供应链模型,揭示了牛鞭效应在单/双供应源两种供应链类型下的变化。研究结果表明,大规模风电并网形成的双供应源电力供应链牛鞭效应较大且波动剧烈,尤其当下游用户需求较平稳时,供应链会出现牛鞭效应与反牛鞭效应共存现象,而预测技术的选择、风电场合理规划等有助于抑制牛鞭效应,保证电力安全并减小资源浪费。     

融合Bass模型和三阶段过程模型的续集电影需求扩散研究

续集电影与母电影之间存在品牌溢出效应但不存在替代效应。现有多代扩散模型主要考虑替代效应,难以适用于续集电影。构建了一个融合Bass模型和三阶段过程模型的续集电影需求扩散模型,以预测续集电影的市场潜量和上映期间每日需求量。以2011年至2016年国内上映的续集电影相关数据对模型进行了验证,并与Marshall模型和SBM进行了比较。结果表明1)母电影品牌溢出效应、两代电影特征差距和市场扩张显著影响续集电影的市场潜量;2)电影需求过程存在显著的季节性波动;3)所建模型在拟合优度和预测精度方面均优于两个对比模型。所建模型一方面更适用于预测续集电影的需求扩散,另一方面研究对象拓展至不存在替代效应的多代短生命周期体验品,考虑了多代产品品牌溢出效应,是对已有多代扩散模型的补充。     

ARMA（1,1）需求下的信息延迟对供应链最优决策的影响

在假定顾客需求满足ARMA（1,1）过程的前提下,考虑了由一个零售商和一个供应商所组成的两级供应链系统最优订购决策问题.分别建立了需求信息不延迟与延迟这两种情形下零售商和供应商的最优订购决策模型,通过比较得出：当需求呈正相关时,需求信息延迟不仅可以减小牛鞭效应,而且可以降低供应链系统的平均总成本.     

基于制造商资金有约束的替代产品的最优生产决策

考虑一个单周期的生产决策模型,在该模型中有一个制造商生产两种可替代的产品.面对随机的市场需求,制造商要在需求到来之前制定出两种产品的生产决策来最大化自己的期望利润.在制造商的资金有、无约束两种情形下,证明了制造商的收益函数的期望是关于两种产品生产数量的凹函数,探讨了资金的约束以及产品的替代给制造商的生产决策所带来的影响,给出了最优生产数量的若干性质.另外,针对需求分布为均匀分布的特殊情形给出了制造商最优生产决策的简单表达形式.

A REPRESENTATION FORMULA RELATED TO SCHR(O)DINGER OPERATORS

Schr(o)dinger operator is a central subject in the mathematical study of quantum mechanics.Consider the Schrodinger operator H = -△ V on R, where △ = d2/dx2 and the potential function V is real valued. In Fourier analysis, it is well-known that a square integrable function admits an expansion with exponentials as eigenfunctions of -△. A natural conjecture is that an L2 function admits a similar expansion in terms of "eigenfunctions" of H, a perturbation of the Laplacian (see [7], Ch. Ⅺ and the notes), under certain condition on V.     

On a class of self-similar processes with stationary increments in higher order Wiener chaoses

We study a class of self-similar processes with stationary increments belonging to higher order Wiener chaoses which are similar to Hermite processes. We obtain an almost sure wavelet-like expansion of these processes. This allows us to compute the pointwise and local Hölder regularity of sample paths and to analyse their behaviour at infinity. We also provide some results on the Hausdorff dimension of the range and graphs of multidimensional anisotropic self-similar processes with stationary increments defined by multiple Wiener–Itô integrals.     

On a class of Riemann surfaces

It is considered the class of Riemann surfaces with dimT1 = 0, where T1 is a subclass of exact harmonic forms which is one of the factors in the orthogonal decomposition of the spaceΩH of harmonic forms of the surface, namely The surfaces in the class OHD and the class of planar surfaces satisfy dimT1 = 0. A.Pfluger posed the question whether there might exist other surfaces outside those two classes. Here it is shown that in the case of finite genus g, we should look for a surface S with dimT1 = 0 among the surfaces of the form Sg\K , where Sg is a closed surface of genus g and K a compact set of positive harmonic measure with perfect components and very irregular boundary.

Staircase transportation problems with superadditive rewards and cumulative capacities

A cumulative-capacitated transportation problem is studied. The supply nodes and demand nodes are each chains. Shipments from a supply node to a demand node are possible only if the pair lies in a sublattice, or equivalently, in a staircase disjoint union of rectangles, of the product of the two chains. There are (lattice) superadditive upper bounds on the cumulative flows in all leading subrectangles of each rectangle. It is shown that there is a greatest cumulative flow formed by the natural generalization of the South-West Corner Rule that respects cumulative-flow capacities; it has maximum reward when the rewards are (lattice) superadditive; it is integer if the supplies, demands and capacities are integer; and it can be calculated myopically in linear time. The result is specialized to earlier work of Hoeffding (1940), Fréchet (1951), Lorentz (1953), Hoffman (1963) and Barnes and Hoffman (1985). Applications are given to extreme constrained bivariate distributions, optimal distribution with limited one-way product substitution and, generalizing results of Derman and Klein (1958), optimal sales with age-dependent rewards and capacities.To our friend, Philip Wolfe, with admiration and affection, on the occasion of his 65th birthday.Research was supported respectively by the IBM T.J.
